Hi I read Thiago was one of the top scorers in the A-League last year, and that he is not getting many minutes this year due to an injury....How long is he out for? Has anybody seen this kid play (good)? Was he getting a look by Nowak before his injury?
He tore his ACL training in the winter and did it again a few weeks ago right before he was about to start getting playing time. I believe he is out for the rest of the season. When we signed him at the end of last season he gave us some size, heart, and hustle on the field, something that was lacking from our team last year.
Yeah, he was very big, strong, fast, and he had some skill. If he ever gets a chance to settle down, stay healthy, and play a string of games, I think he'd be very good. But who knows if we'll ever see that?
No, but he did play about four or five games for DC last year. And despite not scoring (as far as I remember), he looked good out there.
